IT DID HIM GOOD.

Medicine Administered to q YOungstel
by One Who Knew How.
Side by side in the waiting room of the
Third street passenger station yesterday sat g
nervous little woman and a TALL melancholy
man The woman had boy about years OF
age who seemed TO be possessed of an evil
spirit. He wouldn't sit nor stand still He
didn't want apples nor candy. He couldn't
be coaxed nor bribed TO behave himself, and
his kicking and whining seemed TO wear the
little woman out. The melancholy man stood
It for a while but finally felt called upon to
observe:
Madam, know what that child is aching
for
YES, so do l." she promptly answered,
but I've boil on my right arm"
IN take the Job of your hands If you say
so. It's sumthin' I've been in the habit of
doing almost every day of my life, for I've
had three wives and three sets Of children
The boy set up an extra howl and began
kicking her shins just then, and she looked
around in helpless way and said:
We'll, you may try. Not too vigorous,
but Just vigorous enough
He reached over and picked the child up,
laid him across his knee, and the spanking
machine started of at about forty reyolu-
tons minute and worked 20 a charm.
"Ihere-you Sot there!' SAID the old man as
he Strengthened the boy up and sat him down.
That's better than all the candy and pea
nuts in the country, and you'll behave your
SELF for the next three days"
The boy blubbered softly and sat STILL and
when the mother bowed her gratitude the
old man replied:
"Oh, don't mention it. It's the best medi-
cine III the world. Besides, I was 8 bit lone

ABOUT ROADS AND STREETS.

Major Hebbard, the newly-appointed
Supervisor of Roads, has done more
good work during his brief tenure OF
office, than was accomplished in the
twelve proceeding months. 1t is agree
able thus to recognize merit in 8 public
officer, and We cheerfully make this ap-
proving mention of Major Hebbard. OF
course he must act under instructions
from the Minister of the Interior, with
out whose approval and sanction he
could do nothing, as was the case latterly
with Mr. Hart when he was Supervisor
of roads His Excellency Mr. Thurston
would do well, however, to consider his
duty under the Act OF last session pro-
viding for fixing the grade OF streets and
sidewalks in Honolulu and other towns
in the Kingdom. The ADVERTISER en-
deayored to induce Mr.. Aholo, while he
vas Minister, to give effect to the pro-
visions Of the law for constituting Board
of Engineers to fix the city levels
Nothing could move him. He would
not act. The consequence has been
pIClNl kClACAdA VI NAiC CITY
and the expenditure of money by private
individuals which may ultimately prove
to have been wasted. Mr.. Thurston is
doubtless amenable TO reason. He has
a becoming sense OF responsibility in
this as In other matters, and Will prob
ably give effect to the law by appointing
the Commission contemplated by the
statute. The engineering work has all
been done and paid for; all that remains
is to have the plans and survey officially
adopted as guide to property owners in
future If Mr.. Aholo had brought the law
into operation at the close OF the Legisla-
tive Session of 1886, he would have saved
many thousands of dollars to property
owners and improved the appearance OF
the city. Better late than never. Now
let Mr.. Thurston make amends for the
neglect of his official predecessor.

The SAMOAN MISSION.

The interview on Samoan affairs which
was published yesterday by the ADvER-
User threw a great deal OF light upon
the Samoan embassy. It is very clear
that Minister Bush did not conduct him
self with the dignity and wisdom becom-
ing his position; but Secretary Poor
made up for the faults Of his chief to
some extent. The selection OF Mr. Bush,
as il turns out, was unfortunate; still
more unfortunate was the mission itself.
There is nothing to be gained, however,
by expressing regret at what has hap
pened. The Embassy to Samoa has
been recalled, and on the return OF the
Kaimiloa that vessel should be put out
OF commission and sold II is perhaps
best to waive further discussion of this
matter until the members OF the Embassy
and the Kaimiloa return. A searching
investigation should then be made into
all matters and things connected with
the mission to Malietoa and its political
and mercantile bearings. The public
have a right to know all, whether good
or bad. They should be informed pre-
ciseIy what the Samoan mission cost and
what they have got for their money.

a FAIR START.

Mrs. Cal1board, Jr., ForestSlls Any Allu-
siOns to Mrs. Callboard, Sr.'s, Cooking.
When Mr.. and Mrs. CalIboard returned
from their wedding journey they settled
right down TO housekeeping. Happier doves
never nestled in a fat, and Mrs. CallbOard
determined 70 make home for Charley from
the start. No foolish misunderstanding
should arise in their domestic arrangements,
if her wisdom and tact could prevent. When
they sat down TO their first meal Nellie
helped him 10 an Opaque slab Of something
about an inch thick that fell on the table
with a dull, sickening thud. There is some
home made bread like your mother used to
make, Charley, dear" size said sweetly. Il
learned how to make that solid circle of
roller composition around the middle Of the
loaf when We were stopping at her house last
week; if You should ever want change

than sea foam, but this is the kind your mother
makes, and | thought you might like it the
first day TO keep you from getting homesick.

less if not taken to excess. These irregular

like those your grandmother makes; she
taught me how TO make them, and l had
Coroner's permit 10 make these. Those
ghastly remains on the platter are all that is
left of the holocaust-that Is 8 chicken
roasted after the favorite prescription OF
your sister Jane. And this, Charley dear"
she continued, pouring out a coal black
liquid, not quite so thick as the Missouri
river but far more odorous, "this is coffee like
you used to get at home. make all these
things somewhat different for myself, and
will use my own recipes, as rule, after this,
but any time you want things as you used to
have them at home, dear, l can fill every
prescription i'll the pharmacopoeia, and don't
you forget it." And he didn't. That was
twenty-three years ago, and not one of the
six young Callboards can remember ever to
have heard their father SO much as refer TO
the doughnuts his grandmother used to make
when he was g. boy.-Brooklyn Eagle.

been put in nomination. He was prepared
TO prove this If necessary. He
again thanked the active mem .
bers Of the Department for their
votes, and hoped they would show equal
willingness 10 obey the orders Of their
officers. For himself, he would do all in
his power to forward the best interests o.
the Department.
This closed the formal business, and
the remainder Of the evening was given
up 20 festivities. Although there was q
great deal Of noise and hustle every one
appeared 70 be good-humored. The

this, perhaps with some measure Of
truth, but the time Is now ripe and the
men are in place TO satisfy this just and
reasonable expectation. Let Ministers
give a practical proof OF their earnestness
in settling the Portuguese upon small
freeholds, under the Homestead law, and
they will deserve we'll Of the country. It
has cost a great deal Of money TO bring
the Portuguese here; some little effort
should therefore be made 70 retain them
in the country, thereby adding to its sta
bility and increasing its fixed capital.

FIRE DEPARTMENT ELECTION.
Success of the Regular Ticket.

Last evening was the date fixed by
the Minister of the Interior for the
election of a Chief Engineer and two
Assistant Engineers OF the Fire Depart
ment 1t will be in the recollection of
readers Of the ADVERTISER that the first
election, held on the day fixed by law,
was declared void owing to irregularities,
and a second election therefore became
necessary The same tickets were in
the field, and great interest was mani
tested in the result by the general pub
lie, as we'll as by members OF the Fire
Department.
The poll was opened at haIf-past seven
D. M, and closed at nine p. m, when
the counting OF votes began and lasted
about an hour. Mr.. Henry Smith, Sec
rotary OF the Honolulu Fire Department,
acted as Judge OF election, with the fol-
lowing tellers: H. W. Aud, a. s. Maha-
ulu, Jos. Kaaukai, J. NJ. Kaneakua, and
Kim Cha. The result as announced is

GOVERNMENT LANDS.

The " Bulletin " had an admirable ar
ticle yesterday on the subject of admins
tering the Government lands. Although
we may differ from our contemporary in
some of his theories the fact is not mate
rial, because the general conclusions
which he reaches are inapplicable to this
country. The Ministry in power are
committed by their antecedents TO the
principle of the Homestead law. Now is
their opportunity to bring it into opera
ton. The Portuguese are hungering and
thirsting after land on which to settle
and make homes. Hitherto they could
not get land upon anything like ceasona-
BILE conditions of purchase or occupation.

Scattering votes for the First and
Second Assistants made up the total.
Wilson's majority over Monsarrat was
allowing 80 to vote, majority l6 allow
ing all to vote, l.. The announcement
of the poll was received with uprOarious
applause and other manifestations Of ap-
prevail and delight.
After quiet had been partially restored
Chief Engineer Wilson assembled the
teller's table and said Gentlemen and
fellow fremen, am proud to thank you
all for the effort you have made in elect
ing me this evening and my two assist
ants. l made every possible effort to
have this election a fair and square one
TO all concerned, at the same time en-
deavoring that every active member OF
the Department should have his vote.
In this 1 think succeeded. have
again TO thank all those who fought so
hard in this struggle for the past two
months in making me their choice for
Chief Engineer this evening, and I will
now make way for my assistants who
will speak for themselves.
First Assistant Hustace briefly re-
turned thanks. He felt highly honored
at having been twice elected Ist Assist
ant by the members Of the Department,
and pledged himself TO perform its duties
TO the best of his ability.
Second Assistant Morgan followed.
He thanked them for the votes cast that
evening, and thought the result showed
that the active firemen had supported
them. He had been frequently asked
that day if he would serve under Mon
sarrat il he were elected Chief, and he
had as frequently declared that he would
not. He had been many years q mem
Der OF the Honolulu Fire Department,
and took more interest in il than lie had
taken in his own home; but with all
that, if the election had been different
to-day he believed that ne would have
retired from it altogether. He would
not continue in il and serve under men
who he could prove were incompetent
to fill the positions for which they had

IT is healthy sign to see so much
earnest activity manifested in politics.
1t is not healthy or polite to insist upon
3 rule OF uniformity in political action
or opinion. The utmost latitude should
be allowed in the expression of honest
conviction, as well as in the selection OF
candidates. There is great danger, at
the present crisis, OF ENGRAVING machine
